A DRAINAGE PROBLEM.
why All EnterPrising Farmers Should On
derdratn Their Lands.

lsRhy All Enterprising Farmers Should Un-
derdratn Their Lands.
This subject has been much dis
cussed, and drainage urged upon farm
| ers as q necessary and profitable in
| vestment- Many have engaged in it
extensively, and found it so. Put the
principles by which it operates, and
the cause for its use, are what wish
TO speak about in this paper. The
land in its primeval state was covered
with heavy timber, lcaves and grass;
penetrated from the surface to a great
depth by roots that served to hold the
sturdy trees upright. In the early
days when our fathers began to open
up their farms, they commenced by
taking down a part of the timber,
and girdling the standing timber, ex-
cept that good for saving. Then they
plowed and cultivated their crops as
best they could; having to contend
with trees, stumps and roots, and in
the course of two or three years, the
brush began to fall from the decaying
trees, and these must now be cut down
and burned early in the spring or late
in the fall, 50 as not to interfere with a
growing crop. This mode of farming
lasted for years until the stumps and
roots disappeared. The farmer con-
tinued to clear, improve and widen his
acres; his stock of all kinds followed
closely the taking off of crop. and as
long as a mouthful of heritage could be
found, it was all the same with the
farmer. In dry, muddy sr frozen
Iin
pudding his farming lands. While
the stumps and roots were yet in the
earth, they acted as conductors of
water into the earth. and did not
hinder him from getting his crop in
due season.
But as the years went by he contin-
ued his method of trampling year after
year, with continued cultivation.
When once the soil is clear of stumps
and roots the soil and subSoil, if clay,
adhere together so that it has become
impervious to water and acts as a
cemented cistern or vessel for holding
water. While this is the case, the
water only disappearing by evapora-
ton, the land is left hard and ,;feless.
The farmer is delayed in his operations
and no amount of persistent work will
fit it for the seed. Disappointment
comes; the number of bushels is less
ened, and the crop is of inferior
quality. This is the state into which
nearly all, if not all. the farms our
fathers wore out, and themselves, too,
in clearing and working under may
hardships, have fallen. Science has
found and put in practice a method by
which these worn out lands may be
made to produce again literally All
surface water and excess of water in
the soil may be got rid of by system
of thing. proper sizes being used, put
at proper depths and good Judgment
used throughout All stock must be
kept off when the ground is wet, and it
must not be worked in n heavy state.

stock; use economy, and yOHr lands
